Hi,
I just want to ask how many INTP's are double jointed or when standing, their knees bend back, or have tendons that are someone weak?
I did not realize there is a correlation between Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Autism/Neurodivergence, but there IS.
It can cause issues later in life, like knee caps going out of whack, or frozen shoulders, or feet and hands that hurt or feel arthritic, but its actually a genetic issue affecting tendons.
I wasn't really that aware that I was double jointed, but apparently I am.
You just should be aware of this medical issue and might want to see a rheumatologist to diagnose it, as there are important exercises that you need to do to stay mobile later in life.
